Is that a German Flak 88 mm? would make sense with a German U-boat sunken off-shore.
Flak-88 is about the best medium-caliber gun of WWII, can use it for everything and the velocity of the shell was so high it had little drop-over-distance making it nearly laser-beam accurate for its time.
Indeed it is!
Nicely done! And I agree with you, pinhead. It seem that when Alice found a U-boat with Flak 88 gun onboard, she take that gun off of the U-boat and work on a project to resort back to working order. I bet it cost alot money to get some parts to replace since it hard to find or hand-made parts to replace the rusted parts.
I know it’s rude, but I have to say, you certainly pay attention to weapon quality.
*Wait for it to sink in*
The Type VII U-boats (The most common type.) did not carry the FLAK 88mm gun. They mounted the 8.8 cm (88mm) SK C/35 naval gun. (A very different weapon, similar only in bore size.)
The gun above, is a towed, 8.8 cm FLAK 18/36, duel use anti-aircraft/anti-tank gun, (Missing it’s road wheels.) fitted with an late model armored shield, and mounted on a standard cruciform 360° AAA mount.
All in all, a rather odd piece of ordnance to find on a Caribbean island, though not out of keeping with Alice’s fondness for German hardware.
Man, this chain is smart, all i thought was “cool, a big gun”
I thought about the Flugabwehrkanone’s versatility.
…Perhaps my joke was too forward…
My bad, actually.
My comment should have been a reply to, “Toshiro Tushima”.
Indeed used for everything, Anti-aircraft, Anti-tank, and now Anti-Monster.
Remember there was about four or five different “88’s”, the U-Boat variant was actually the least powerful and used the ‘weakest’ ammunition type.
Somehow she got a hold of the model that I have mostly sees as Anti-Air or Anti-tank, since the U-boat ones were smaller sized and short barrel compared to the ones on land.
Yep, looks like the long-barrel variant model 41 variant with 1000 m/s shells but hard to tell with the gun-shield. To put that 1000 m/s in perspective for a WWII era gun that’s as fast as specialized modern riffle-ammo and the 30mm GAU-8 Avenger on the A-10 fighter is about 1,020 m/s. Fun 🙂
Nekonny, what model were you aiming for? Just curious.
Rate of fire is going to be pretty slow with just one person but this is Alice were talking about so I’m sure she’ll manage.
Why are there so many german artillery buffs in this thread???
huh…first a Luger P.08 and now a 8.8 FlaK 36…perhaps alice has a thing for German weaponry?
hello fellow WWII nerd
marx here i cant seem to login in without useing facebook or something like that so i’ll be commenting as a guest but i’ll let ya know its me i have to admit ya put the germ flak gun in perfectly with the storyline nekonny
oh nvm im in now
nekonny is still human so i guess he and kimi each only have half the nekocat’s powers let’s hope divide conquer works for them
Wai’ a mi’ite she ain’t waren er eye pach!
She’s all better, that’s why. Her eye was never injured, it was a cut or something above it only. I honestly can’t recall the specifics atm.
Page 171 “Blood Eyes” for the inferred injury.
Page 200 “Translation” for Alice’s next appearance
Page 227 “Lost in a Daze” for people noticing she wasn’t wearing the eyepatch
I have a feeling we shall have a very happy Slaughts kitteh soon
i agree (@W@)
Isn’t it kinda dangerous to wear a mini skirt when your that much taller than everyone else
Fourth panel, the one with her pointing. Second guy from the left in the front row. Where’s he looking at?
two of those people are looking upward while Mr Pringles is nervously looking downwards (i think he has teh best view of her underpants X3)
okay good I thought I was the only one who noticed the pringles guy
Nope, I noticed many of the NPCs returned!
Perspective, have you heard about it? She doesn’t stand right next to them, she’s probably a few meters away.
That sounds suspiciously like logic. Logic is not permitted here.
She must have (Fürr)Colonel Roy mustang as her chief.
Ah, that explains it. He’s used to being around short people, so he didn’t think twice about it.
Bringing out the big guns..quiet litteraly.
Is that a flak cannon..?
I think we just found Big Bertha.
Leviathan: “My armor can deflect eighty-seven millimeter shells!”
Alice: Awwww, too bad. This gun fires eighty-EIGHT millimeter shells!”
Leviathan: (does some math on its fingers) “That’s one millimeter TOO MANY!! YIPES!!!”
The cannon will surely work…surely it will work.
Well if it dosent, then they’re pretty much screwed. Unless ofcourse that magic weapon can turn in to an even bigger cannon…
Get ready for some fireworks!!
well now things are indeed getting quite interesting, especially with Alice and that cannon piece she has there
Break out the museum piece!
Best of luck; she’ll have to carry those heavy shells and aim with hand cranks herself.
(⌐■_■)
( •_•)>⌐■-■
( O_O) mother of god…………
Oh, frak, that’s an anti-tank rifle…
OH FRAK! THAT’S AN ANTI-TANK RIFLE!!!
Actually that’s an anti air gun… but it was notoriously good against tanks too. never been field tested against monsters tho.
unless hitler traveled to the carribean
“Oh frak, it’s a flak!” ?
Good thing I’m on Aflack….
Wow, let’s hope she earns a white stripe for that 88 barrel.
Holy crap! I would say she is loaded for bear but that thing can handle more than that!
Where was she hiding that big sucker?
Umm… I guess size does matter to girls?
This should have been a tank instead. You could have even said the lady was a fan of the MMO World of Tanks, and made one. 😛
yeah.. it made a lot more strategic sense to have a multi purpose flack cannon than a tank for the defense of a tiny island.
WE’RE STILL GONNA NEED A BIGGER BOAT!!!!!
YOU FEELING LUCKY PUNK??????
Leftovers from world war II?
Kind of random to have an 88 laying about under a convinient taurpalin.
Wonder how long thats been there without anyone looking under the cover.
There’s actually a lot of German hardware on the island. We’ve already seen Alices’ Luger pistol and the sunken Uboat off the coast.
but she already has big guns ;3 lulz
Ha! Yeah, she was TOTALLY not expecting this to happen.
We appreciate the gesture, Alice, but you might need something a little bigger…
Alice: “Well, then, how about this?” (Whips out BFG 9000)
….yeah that’ll work just fine
ANNNND, now i think its about time that Alice gets a little gun crazy…..oh wait she already did..
Actually the 88’s needs a crew of 8 to operate efficiently.
i thought it it could be crew of three at min due to what i remember but your right its 8, 2 to turn the gun from side to side , 1 to fire and 1 to make sure the spent “HOT” shells are placed away from the crew and ammunition and 3 to run the live shells to the loaders
Don’t forget the spotter!
And yes, three people can operate it in a pinch, though their workload doubles as they have to both operate the gun and do ammo runs.
Damn O.o
Give that bitch a canon they said. Bitches love cannons they said… They were right.
are you really want piss of the chick with the canon???
Alice works for hellsing? Interesting fact
wait no cast page
Ohh, these pacific islands with their massive flac cannons.
that’s a costal gun not a flak cannon. also this is the Caribbean.
Its actually a multi purpose flak cannon
Now that’s a gun.
It’s not that scary.., NOW if Alice still had that patch on her eye that would strke fear into anyoine while uneiling the artillery pieace…
thats a world war crafted anti air gun!!
here comes nekonny and kimi to save the day. till then, here’s a surface-to-air mobile missle turret to keep the creep at bay. I wouldn’t want to face a creature that can survive a barrage against that, but nekonny and kimi don’t have a choice in the matter.
Jesus. where did they get a 75mm coastal gun?
Actually that’s a 88mm FLAK-18 or FLAK-36.
sorry just never seen a flak with a heavy blast shield like that.
either go big or go home i guess :3
Is that a front end loader?
yOU MEAN WHAT nEKONNY IS DRIVING?, NO IT’S tACO’S ON LOAN GOLF CART
& I hate capslock
I was talking about the shell-shooting thingie.
GO ALICE!!!! FTW!!! I love her pose as she pulls off the tarp to show her little friend. >.< One doesn't notice how big the creature is until you notice it in the second panel… <.<
NEKONNY! USE YOUR CHIN!
HOT DAME! Alice is getting major points for this page.
LOLOLOL about they play the pokemon lolol
where did you get that profile pic???????????????????????????
A FLAK 88mm WHERE THE HELL SHE GET THAT??????
..Well that was rather anti-climactic and rushed.. think there should have been another frame for Alice to proclaim : “And in the mean time-“, go to another page : “I have some prep work of my own to do!” with the whole page being the unveiling of the piece of artillery.
Panel #2 is such a missed opportunity for fan service.
That is a FLAK 36 based on the shield design (I have a book on 20th century artillery). That thing can penetrate 105 mm of WW2 tank armor at a range of 1 km and that calculation was done at a 60 degree deflection with respect to the armor’s surface (with the crew of the victim tank probably turned to jelly once penetrated). Given this, if the monster gets within 1 kilometer of Alice, it may as well have tried attacking her with a plush toy.
2nd panel teary guy :3
pretty gun
Hahaha. So much Boob POV. Love dat. :3
When are the updates o,o?
yay! big gun!
Any one know how long regular update is?
i knew it was a FLAK 88mm
man when is the next page coming out!?!?!?!
When police officer Alice has to take down big, evil creatures from Norse mythology, she uses the German Flak 88 mm! It’s the best gun for the job! Get it today, and you too can fight Evil Incarnate! Now for only $4995.95!
So many favorite characters in this comic, but Alice is definately among them.
